How do metals become stable?

Chemistry
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Atoms of metal elements give away electrons in their reactions to form positive ions. The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable.

Explanation:

To become stable, the metal atom wants to get rid of one or more electrons in its outer shell. ... Alternately, an atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (aka cations). The particles in an ionic compound are held together because there are oppositely charged particles that are attracted to one another.

Un átomo X posee 29 protones y de carga +2 ¿Cuántos electrones tiene?
lesya [120]

Responder:

27

Explicación:

Dado que:

Número de protones en el átomo X = 29

Carga en el átomo X = +2

Si no hay cargo neto;

número de protones = número de electrones

Sin embargo, dado que el átomo X tiene una carga de +2 (dando 2 electrones).

Por lo tanto,

Número de electrones = número de protones - número de carga en el átomo)

Número de electrones = (29 - 2) = 27

What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl
fenix001 [56]
M(P)=3.72 g
M(P)=31 g/mol

m(Cl)=21.28 g
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol

n(P)=m(P)/M(P)
n(P)=3.72/31=0.12 mol

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=21.28/35.5=0.60 mol

P : Cl = 0.12 : 0.60 = 1 : 5

PCl₅ - is the empirical formula
